Yoplait Kids is probably the brand that my son is most familiar with. He takes 1-2 cups of yogurt every day and 7 out of 10 times it's from Yoplait Kids. Are you trying to find a nutritious snack that appeals to your kids? Start with Yoplait Kids yogurt!

Yoplait Kids has an excellent source of both calcium and vitamin D, a good source of protein and the delicious flavors kids crave. It also contains 25% less sugar than the leading kids’ yogurt, and is free from high fructose corn syrup, artificial colors, flavors or sweeteners. You can feel confident about serving it to your kids.

Yoplait Kids yogurt comes in three yummy flavors, Strawberry, Strawberry Banana and Vanilla. It first captured my son's attention because it had his favorite cartoon figures on the pacakging-Dora the Explorer & Diego. Now even more popular characters have been added to the collection, including Lightning McQueen from the hit movie Cars and the Disney Princesses.

Yoplait Kids has also partnered with well-known mom-blogger, Christine Coppa, Mama's Boy blogger at parenting.com and author of Rattled! (Broadway Books, 2009), who has developed helpful snacking tips for moms with young children including:

I just don't buy a lot of junk food. I substitute with healthy foods, instead. Granola bars rather than cookies, tortilla chips and cheese rather than potato chips, yogurt rather than pudding cups, etc.ohmiss14 at yahoo dot com

I have started buying more healthy snacks & have a designated drawer in the fridge & shelf in the pantry with pre-portioned snacks for them to grab. I only put out one "unhealthy" option a day of fruit snacks or cookies & they know once they grab that then that is all until the next day. sslguzman (at) gmail (dot) com

I've been incorporating healthy snacks for kids by buying less processed food, and making sure we have choices of healthy snacks. I have on hand fresh bananas, strawberries, yogurt, string cheese, and fruit juice popsicles. Yogurt is always one of their faves, and Yoplait is the only brand we buy!

As the grocery shopper, I am bringing home healthier options. We have fresh fruit available and way less processed fruit options. I'm dealing with a conflict between my focus on saving money and keeping things healthy. The sales at the stores that match up so well with coupons are often the most processed, the least healthy and the most advertised.

I keep pre-cut fruit and vegetable party trays ready in the refrigerator and pull them out once a day. My daughter thinks it's special that each vegetable has it's own little section. She loves broccoli now! losweep@gmail.com
